“Broadcast’s back, baby!” one network head recently crowed to Variety. And actually, they’re not wrong. After last year’s disastrous fall, when the Hollywood strikes led to a mostly improvised lineup, the networks are finally back in full force. And despite a messy launch disrupted by the election, extreme weather events and a media business in freefall, broadcast has reason to feel a little pep in its step.
Fall TV, of course, isn’t what it used to be when broadcast was the only game in town. But as the industry adjusts to a new normal in how viewers consume television, primetime series are showing true resilience. As the full data comes in, there’s been a surprising interest in the new crop of scripted fare on the traditional Big Four.

In the manner of most celebrity podcasts, Ted Danson’s conversation with Quinta Brunson on this week’s Where Everybody Knows Your Name quickly devolved into a fawning, mutual lovefest. But despite Danson’s gushing praise for all things comedy and Abbott Elementary, he managed to twist Brunson’s love for Shelley Long into a backhanded slap of his old Cheers co-star.
Brunson explained that her family was made up of Cheers superfans. She remembered watching as a young kid, but really appreciating its craft during reruns when she was a teen. More than most TV comedies, Cheers “felt like a play. Everyone was very grounded,” she told Danson. “I remember thinking that Diane was so grounded. I almost felt like she wasn’t acting.”
That got a laugh from Danson. “I felt the same way being with her sometimes.”
Oof. The comment flew past Brunson but it jibes with...

Jimmy Kimmel is a busy man. He hosts his own talk show, he's hosted a handful of Oscars shows over the last decade, and in 2022, he hosted the Emmy Awards. The comedian did a fine job, but his antics rubbed viewers the wrong way when Quinta Brunson won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.
Instead of clearing the stage and letting Brunson have her moment, Kimmel decided to lay on the stage while she gave her speech. It was intended to garner laughter from the audience, but it wound up garnering lots of criticism online. Many believed that Kimmel stole the spotlight from Brunson, and that he should have let her enjoy her first Emmy win.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Abbott Elementary Season 4, Episode 4, “Costume Contest.”] Abbott Elementary put the spotlight on a TV icon in its latest Halloween episode, “Costume Contest” as Jacob (Chris Perfetti) channeled longtime Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak in his costume. The pick comes with its fair share of critiques from coworkers especially as they take a small dig at Sajak’s politics but ultimately recognize him for the TV icon he is. In the opening scenes of the episode, Janine (Quinta Brunson) considers Jacob’s choice, acknowledging that she recognizes her coworker’s costume as Sajak, “Although interesting choice for you, given his politics,” she noted. Wheel of Fortune “Well, I’ve taken a step back from Elon Musk’s internet, and now it sometimes takes me weeks to find these things out,” Jacob started to say in response to the hint at Sajak’s conservative views. “So, you know, I figured if...

Though Abbott Elementary may be all about a “work family,” the series’ showrunner and leading lady Quinta Brunson is apparently having second thoughts about allowing her real-life family to watch the show’s two upcoming crossover episodes with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
In what’s become yet another drip in the slowest leak known to man, Brunson hinted at what fans — including her mother — can expect during the beloved Pennsylvania-based series’ collab. “Yeah, my mom’s not going to be allowed to watch that,” she told People while attending the Ema Awards Gala on Sunday.
Although Brunson remained tight-lipped on what schemes, plots and/or scams she gets into with the overlords of Paddy’s Pub — ones her mother shall never witness if the actress/producer/BuzzFeed alum has her way — she’s far from the only actor to hint that the upcoming crossover gets, well, real weird with it.

In today’s age of endless content, streaming services, and supposedly “inclusive” storytelling, you’d think TV has something for everyone.
With diverse casts, cultural representation, and bold new narratives, it sure seems that way — at least on paper.
But if you’re part of the crowd that finds yourself rewatching Friends for the gazillionth time instead of diving into the latest TikTok-influenced teen drama, you’re not alone.

Streaming gave a big boost to viewing for several of CBS’ season and series premieres.
That in itself is no surprise — streaming accounts for a sizable amount (sometimes the majority) of any network show’s weekly totals. Still, the viewing totals for the handful of shows CBS touted in a release Tuesday put all of them above 10 million viewers.
The season two premiere of Tracker on Oct. 13 amassed 15.7 million viewers over the course of a week, a 25 percent improvement over its time period premiere last season (not including the post-Super Bowl series opener). Nearly half of that total (47 percent) came after the show’s initial airing: Streaming on Paramount+ and CBS’ digital platforms along with other delayed viewing accounted for more than 7 million viewers, following 8.31 million same-day viewers for its on-air debut, according to Nielsen.

The most powerful sitcom crossover in the history of Pennsylvania is officially a double feature.
Back at the beginning of this month, Rob McElhenney sent the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fandom into a frenzy when he posted on-set photos from behind the scenes at an Abbott Elementary production, confirming that, eight months after the viral Glaswegian Willy Wonka nightmare got him and Quinta Brunson talking, a crossover between the two hometown sitcoms is finally in the works. Many of those same fans were dismayed to learn that the planned collaboration would happen on Abbott Elementary’s home court, where the show’s comparatively clean and upbeat tone (coupled with ABC’s censors) would limit the Always Sunny cast’s aptitude to be equal parts appalling and hilarious.
Then, on Friday, Variety blessed us with an exclusive scoop that opens the door for profane comedy played off of the already put-upon Willard R.

Liberals and conservatives overlap with some shows, but others have a clear partisan skew according to a new survey from Hub Research.
There’s no doubt that the United States is experiencing deep levels of political division. In an election year that’s hardly a surprise, but a new survey from Hub Research shows that the discord between political factions in the U.S. is spilling over into TV preferences as well. Its data shows that there are clear areas of alignment between liberals and conservatives when it comes to TV, but also stark differences in their TV and streaming preferences.
Key Details: Titles like “Friends,” “Saturday Night Live” and “NCIS” have broad appeal for audiences. Liberal viewers are more attracted to shows that discuss real-life issues or poke fun at politicians. Conservative audiences are more drawn to shows that offer strong relationships and characters.

The highly-anticipated crossover between ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” and FX’s “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” just got bigger. While it was already revealed that the “Sunny” characters will show up on “Abbott” this season, Variety has confirmed that, as part of a two-episode event, the “Abbott” teachers will also show up on “Sunny” to hang with the Gang at Paddy’s Pub.
Earlier this month, “Abbott” creator and star Quinta Brunson and “Sunny” star/co-creator Rob McElhenney revealed that the two shows would join comedic forces for a very special episode of “Abbott” (which Brunson had previously hinted at San Diego Comic-Con). The mash-up made sense, given that both shows are set in Philadelphia, plus they both air on Disney-owned networks. (“Abbott” is produced by Warner Bros. TV.)

Exclusive: Matthew Law (Star Wars: Ahsoka) has joined the recurring cast of ABC’s Abbott Elementary for Season 4, currently airing weekly on Wednesday nights. He will debut as O’Shon, the school district It rep, in tonight’s episode titled “Class Pet.”
Deadline has a teaser of the episode above and first look-photos of Law as O’Shon below. Tonight, Janine (Quinta Brunson) gets a budget for class pets, but Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter) resists taking on the added work and responsibility for her room’s guinea pig. An It rep from the school district arrives to set up new computers.
These are likely the new computers promised to the Abbott teachers by the attorney for that fancy new golf course that’s being built nearby. In the Season 4 premiere, the teachers were quite irritated by the construction traffic, as well as the impending gentrification from the addition to the neighborhood.

Well, at least Stephanie Hsu wasn’t ghosted…but all of her exes are landing six feet under.
The Oscar-nominated “Everything Everywhere All at Once” actress leads twisted Peacock rom-com series “Laid” about a woman who knows her exes, ranging from “the guys, the girls, the one-night stands, the man she only remembers as ‘Green Day Shirt,’ and John Early” per the logline, are all about to die. And despite ending things, she does feel compelled to warn them…
The official synopsis reads: “Ruby (Hsu) finds out her former lovers are dying in unusual ways and must go back through her sex timeline to confront her past in order to move forward, all with help from her best friend Aj (Zosia Mamet).”
“Joy Ride” star Hsu also executive produces “Laid.” Michael Angarano and Tommy Martinez also star as series regulars, with Finneas O’Connell, Andre Hyland, Olivia Holt, David Denman, Chloe Fineman,...

HBO‘s Harry Potter series will be “a little bit more in-depth than a two-hour film,” the company’s television boss Channing Dungey has confirmed.
Dungey, chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group, was a keynote speaker at MIPCOM’s C-Suite Conversations, a partnership between MIPCOM Cannes and Variety, on Monday afternoon. She heads up the world’s biggest television studio, currently producing content across all formats and genres, including hits such as Shrinking, Abbott Elementary, Ted Lasso — season four of which Dungey said show star, head writer and co-creator Jason Sudeikis is “really excited” about (more on that below) — The Sex Lives of College Girls, Harley Quinn and The Bachelor.
But there’s one project no one can stop talking about, which Variety co-editor-in-chief Cynthia Littleton acknowledged on Monday, “I don’t think, legally, I’m allowed to let you off the stage without asking about this,” she said.

Netflix has truly been the gift that keeps on giving in 2024. All throughout the year, the streaming service has continued to acquire so many past and recent favorite television series for our binge-watching pleasure, even beyond its own original series.
Whether it's This Is Us, The Resident, Fire Country, Interview with the Vampire, Sex and the City, Lost, or How I Met Your Mother, there were (and are) plenty of great shows to binge on Netflix. In a post-Suits renaissance world, what's old is new again and we're all eating it up.
But the streamer isn't finished yet with bringing popular and underrated series to its ranks. This fall, Gossip Girl returns to Netflix, and soon after The CW classic arrives in October, one of NBC's most underrated workplace comedies begins streaming on Netflix for the first time.

I was just skimming the latest Wednesday ratings, and… yikes. ABC’s Abbott Elementary is not doing well, incongruously leading out of The Golden Bachelorette this fall.
The Golden Bachelorette is averaging 2.7 million total viewers and a 0.3 demo rating through its first five episodes. That’s a far cry from the 4.7 mil/0.6 that The Golden Bachelor averaged a year ago, though 1) Bachelor aired on a different night (Thursdays) and 2) only against other reality-tv fare on CBS and Fox, due to the Hollywood strikes delaying scripted shows.

Lyn Lear has a favorite “Normanism” — the term coined to describe the late TV legend Norman Lear’s various adages, sayings and maxims about life. For Lyn, it was whenever Norman would offer his farewells by saying, “To be continued.”
“It’s when people would leave, because he always wanted to see them again,” she says. “I like that idea of things continuing and growing and getting better. That’s what I think he meant by that term.”
Lyn Lear is currently compiling all of Norman Lear’s most memorable quotes and philosophies about life for a book that she hopes to publish in the next year. “Norman had written his memoirs [2014’s ““Even This I Get to Experience”], but he always wanted to write a book on his philosophy of life,” she says. “He had these wonderful Nomanisms like ‘over, next.’ As in, ‘when it’s over, it’s over, you gotta move on to next.
